Spine surgeon in Kaufman County, Texas.

Spine care for Kaufman County

The Forney clinic serves all of Kaufman County — Kaufman, Terrell, Crandall, Mabank, Kemp, Scurry, and the unincorporated communities along US-80 and I-20. For county residents, it means a fellowship-trained spine surgeon without the drive into Dallas or Mesquite.

The county blends suburban growth with rural and agricultural work, and Dr. Choi sees both ends of that spectrum: desk workers with degenerative disc disease and laborers with acute herniations and fractures. Either way the process is the same — find the true pain generator first, then match the treatment to the person, not the image.

Consultations and second opinions in Kaufman County

Every new patient visit starts the same way: a careful history, a review of any imaging you bring, and a focused examination — followed by a plain-language explanation of what is going on and what your options are. Dr. Choi favors conservative care when it can work; when surgery is the right answer, he will explain exactly why, what the procedure involves, and what recovery looks like.

A meaningful share of his practice is independent second opinions — patients who have been told they need surgery elsewhere and want another expert read before deciding. If you have already been recommended a fusion, a disc replacement, or a decompression, bring your MRI and prior notes; you will leave with a clear second perspective.

He treats the full range of spinal conditions — from herniated discs, stenosis, and sciatica to complex and revision procedures — using minimally invasive techniques and enabling technologies such as computer-assisted navigation and augmented reality where they genuinely improve precision.

Planning your visit

Call (972) 817-7450 to schedule. The Forney clinic is at 763 E US Hwy 80, Suite 240A — on the county’s main corridor, convenient from Kaufman, Terrell, and Crandall. If you have had an MRI or CT of your spine, bring the images (a disc or portal access works); also bring a list of current medications and any prior spine procedure notes. New patients are asked not to include detailed medical information in the online request form — name, phone, and preferred location are all it takes to start.
